I think it’s fair to say that under any previous president a White House staffer who spoke about a NATO ally like this would have been hog tied and throw bodily out over the White House fence in propitiation of the ravening congressional committees marching down Pennsylvania Ave to investigate.

There is a reason he’s forced to cause all of this chaos. He has NO PLAN. He funds no programs, no healthcare, no education, no lower prices, money coming in only supports more chaos. He envies other dictators. I challenge ANYONE to tell me just one single thing he’s accomplished? Discussion open

Most dystopian stuff I saw last week (always a competition) - Renee Good haters sharing a fake rap sheet that listed her age as 35 and her birth year as 1980.
It was the low quality that got me; audience so ready to believe "she deserved it," doesn't care if the math on the hoax doc is right.

Good, direct, unequivocal messaging here.
Also: to Trumpists, lying is a patriotic sacrament. Trumpists lie because they believe, as a tenet of Trumpism, that the people they hate deserve to be lied to and that it’s for the best for the few people they don’t hate today.
